Hi, Ane. I recognize your smiling face from ShoutLife! How fun to meet you here as well. Thanks for the Friend invite--it's my privilege to accept!

I'm gearing up for release of "A New Promise" next Tuesday, 9/11. The enemy has been throwing up lots of obstacles, including an infected spider bite Monday which has been totally miserable. I can only believe that he must be running scared about now.....

Take care, and I'll look you up over on SL and say hi.

Jules

Thanks, Douglas, or do you go by Doug?

Hi, Ane. It's good to see you here.
Shirley. I don't know if we will ever be busy enough!
Shirley

Hello, What can I do for you?

"thank you for being a friend..." there's a song that has those lyrics, can't remeember which one, but great to have you on board.

Hi, Ane, thanks for the friend invite. I'm still getting my page up (and figuring out how to get this stuff over on the left submitted) but my genre is fantasy with a lot of attention to women's issues, humor, and tricky twists (puzzles and mysteries -- it's a lengthy quest series)

Thank you for requesting me. When the Wind Blows sounds very interesting. Here's wishing you the very best!

Hi Ane,
so nice to meet you, glad you invited me. best wishes with your books. Hope you'll visit me at my website, leave a comment so I'll know you stopped by. www.freewebs.com/dpampalone

Thanks for the invite, Ane.

I hope you're having a great week!

Ane,

Thanks for introducing yourself and alerting me to your upcoming adoption books. Glad your agent is interested. I'd love learn more about your projects. Please join us on Adoption Writers and tell all!

Ane, you're everywhere. How'd you find me over here. Tyora turned me on to BMN. Lotsa fun so far. Take care.

I'll have to admit, you look pretty good for 106--even for 99, if that's your true age. Ane is an interesting spelling for your first name. I collect unusual names for possible future use for characters. My daughter, who is a hair stylist, provides most of the fodder. If you have the time, check out my page on the ning siter site at Crimespace and read the excerpts from my novels. Where is Suwanee, California? Was recently in the Sacramento Delta area visting relatives on their houseboat. That was fun. A little cramped, but fun.

Smiles,

I believe in the old adage that you only are as young as you feel. And, yeah, i thought Suwanee looked like a "Southern" name. Will look forward to your blog re "Ane".

Hi Ane , thanks for adding me to your friends list .I'm still pretty new here , just finding my way about ,but so many friendly talented interesting people. Visit me web site if you get a chance and say Hi in my guestbook www.freewebs.com/davesheed

What a sense of humor!
'cause the first thought come to my mind was: "WOW! she looks good for her age"!
Will check your work. Got jokes?
Stay blessed.

Ane, thanks for including me in your friends group.
Blessings on your work--
Anita

hello Ane!
Thanks for the invite. I am thrilled to find so many other Christian authors here. We should think seriously about some kind of joint venture--perhaps a compilation of short works or something along those lines. Or, becoming familiar enough with each other's work so we can recommend one another wholeheartedly to our lists.
Well, thanks again. Look forward to more correspondence with you.
Blessings,
Linore

Thank you, Ane, for the invitation. I look forward to learning more about you and your world.

Hi Ane and friends,

Thanks for inviting me in your list of friends! Look forward to networking!

Thanks so much, Ane. I've been looking for the right Christian writer's group. ACFW sounds perfect! I will also check out both your blogs. My next big "to do" (well, one of them, anyway!) is to finally start my blog!
Thanks, many blessings,

Linore
PS: If you review books that aren't brand new, I'll send you a copy of mine asap.

Thanks, Freda. You know how those "what if" moments go ... you can't ignore them or they begin to shout at you. :o)

I look forward to getting to know you, too.

Hello Ane, thank you for the friendship. I had to laugh at your explanation about your age! :) I checked out excerpts of your book on your website. You are truly a gifted writer, and I wish you all the best with your books.

Hi Ane,
I finally got to follow up on your advice and joined ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers, for those who aren't familiar ). I am looking forward to getting knee-deep into the organization, finding out all it offers, and seeing if there is a place I can be of service to others. Thanks so much for telling me about them.
Blessings,

Linore

Thank you, Ane, what a sweet welcome. I am actually trimming my email subscriptions so I can make room (and time!) to read the most important ones. ACFW is one I don't want to miss. I know for sure that you only get OUT of something as much as you are willing to put IN. BTW, I love your Novel Journey blog, too, and I'm signed up for that one.

By any chance, do you know of a good script for an opt-in form on a Google blog, such as the one you have on that page? I'm looking for something I can cut and paste into the page, with autoresponder capability. I believe I noticed two opt-in boxes on your blog, in fact. (That tells me it can certainly be done; now I just have to find out how. Google doesn't offer the option.)

Again, thanks for everything,
Have a great conference in Dallas,

Linore

Hi, Ane. Thank you for the prayers and concern regarding the spider bites....I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner--I haven't been on for a couple of weeks. I spend a lot of time at SL...well, comparatively speaking :)

I've healed up 100%--the Lord is so good to me! I've never been particularly arachnophobic before (yellow jackets/hornets are my big fear), but now I'm definitely on the watch-out for spiders! Yuck!!

Hope all's going well on your end!

Julie

Thank you, Ane. I appreciate your concern and prayers so much! I'm definitely keeping an eye peeled for these nasty buggers!! You do the same, ok!?!

Happy Monday!!

Julie

I'm thrilled to repot that When the Wind Blows took second place in its category in the ACFW Genesis contest!

Also, I have a new humor column which is in this month's Afictionado e-zine. Go to http://www.acfw.com/ezine/ and scroll down to Let There Be Light. You can read it there. I also have a book review on Be Sweet in teh same issue. Diann Hunt is my mentor and her book, Hot Tropics and Cold Feet won the Book of the Year award for its category. WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!

Yet another familar face - good to see another ACFW member here
